Recap of the inspiring conversation about female leadership in the Dutch textile and clothing industry facilitated by TextileLab Amsterdam.
"According to economist and entrepreneur Ytha Kempkes, our current systems and structures can be described as “masculine”; stimulating a culture of competition rather than collaboration, striving for growth instead of sustainability or care, and stimulating "masculine" behavior (in both men and women) that becomes problematic in a time where a more holistic and value-driven approach is needed. Business models and the dominant ideas about success, growth and sustainability have to be rethought and developed." Ista Boszhard, co-founder of Waag's TextileLab Amsterdam in her blog
